HR Information Systems Online Certification Program First Year Success for HR.com

Since launch in March 2011, HR.com’s Institute for Human Resources (IHR) HR Information Systems program has granted more than 2,500 credits in 48 complimentary webcast sessions for HR professionals looking to specifically upgrade in the area of HR Information Systems.

As proven by the notable registration numbers, HR professionals are choosing the virtual learning method where they control their education. They have access to the Institute’s collection of knowledgeable industry experts as an unmatched faculty line-up, the latest learning technology, and the most up-to-date relevant webcast content, all from the comfort of their own favorite laptop location. Each webcast selected and viewed earns one IHR credit hour for a participant to count towards their certification, whether live or through archive viewing.

“Any business with HR activities and processes requires a vehicle for its management. Usually this is through well-designed systematic methods and carefully structured means that will integrate all these activities and processes, and do so effectively. The energy of all this is always found in the chosen technology and implemented Information System program, usually designed and customized especially for that business. In order to know their best options for every aspect of the system, it is essential for the professionals responsible for the HRIS functions to have access to the latest technology and its applications. By providing its dynamic and flexible learning platform for upgrading, training, and certification, the Institute for HRIS has proven to be an invaluable asset to the HRIS community.”
Garrett O’Brien – Publisher, Writer, & Consultant for The HRIS World
